A little help please

[Björn Wictor]

Hi all,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I'm not posting in the right place...

I might have the chance to obtain this 5-string (serial # 83990). How do I read the serialnumber? Was the bass made in 1983?

I would really appreciate some more info on this particular model (electronics etc.)

Thanks a million in advance!
